Melinda, youโre carrying a man who canโt even carry his own weight. Of course, youโd feel obligated โ youโre built to show up, even when someone doesnโt deserve it. But hereโs the thing youโre finally noticing (AMEN!): obligation is not the same as connection.
And his โacknowledgementโ? Itโs not real. Itโs survival. He says whatever keeps you from walking away because youโre the last person still answering his messages. You can hear it in the way he apologises โ itโs empty, rushed, and always about making you stop talking, not about understanding what he did.
You keep hoping that if he says the right words, the pain will finally click into place and leave your body. But he canโt give you that. Heโs not capable of giving you the thing youโre seeking, and I know that hurts to admit.
